Doh! That's the trouble, if your area is covered by NTL, it's not by Telewest, and vice versa, because those two companies are connected in some way...

Hopefully NTL bring out a 2Mbps connection...

[Chris M]

Hehe...Screw you all

My dad has access to 2 650Mb/second lines

And before you all shout "BULLSH**", about 10-50Mb/second of each line is designated for Internet, shared between 10 computers in his work...i.e. 10mb/second for each person if they are all on...The rest is a massive network connection, but it can be adapted for internet usage if needbe

@Home however, I am stuck with a measly 56k...But all you UK users? You really pay £50/month for 1.5Mb/second?

If this service in our village starts up, we will get 2mb/second for £25 a month

No. NTL and Telewest are not connected. Althought there has been talk of a merger for years.

Quite simply they've divided up the cable areas between them, as it's not viable to two cable companies to be serving the one area. Also I'm not sure but there may be some laws either now in the past meaning only one company can cable a particular area.

yeah so whos good for asdl etc in uk? i want a decent connection for about £25

[Chris M]

I'm sorry...If I told you the name of the company, I would have to kill you with my car

and i thought i was getting the best deal on here

damn the dsl tower!!! I'm like 4 blocks away form being outside the limit, so it's pretty damn slow, I think it's supposed to be the 428 or whatever, but my ping in counter-strike is like 150 average *sulks* I know that's pathetic, I'm hoping my parent's will switch to cable cause there is only ONE other cable user in the whole neighborhood pool cause it's a brand new subdiviion thingy

broekie how the heck are you getting those lines? i take it you run a company :P

I've got pretty good friends here at school
My servers are 4 of the 5 servers connected to a 1000Mbit SurfNET connection, all with a 100Mbit NIC.
So each one of them gets a full 100Mbit :P

SURFnet is the national computer network for higher education and research in the Netherlands. SURFnet connects the networks of universities, colleges, research centres, academic hospitals and scientific libraries to one another and to other networks in Europe and the rest of the world. SURFnet is part of the world wide Internet. The SURFnet network enables its users to communicate with other network users and to consult the Internet from their office or their home PC. SURFnet provides rapid and reliable connections to educational institutions and research centres abroad using advanced technologies and high-quality infrastructure.

And no, that's not ment to be an advertisement, just a bit of info (I don't work for SurfNET, 'cause if I did, I'd have a 2Gbit link on each of my servers )

hmm i,ll need to look into getting some asdl for me flast i think . Tho i hear if you live in Japan you can get 100mbit lines for your home subsidied by the government

Over here in Australia, I'm on 1.5 Mbps ADSL.

Damnit again, any fast DSL connection is far too expensive for me ATM.

im on 10 mbit cable... the fastest ive ever downloaded was 5.35 mbits (not from one connection, from everything i was running, i was taking in a total of 5.35 mbits )
